Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup cold heavy cream
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, for brushing)
• 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate smaller bowl or liquid measuring cup, mix the cold heavy cream and vanilla extract together.

Step 4

Pour the cream mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a circle that is about 1-inch thick.

Step 6

Cut the dough into 8 even wedges, like a pizza, and transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 7

Brush the tops of the scones with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden on top.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. These scones are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
